It’s been a while since we’ve talked about Twitter, hasn’t it? Well, since twitter is my favorite social media network and since the survey you filled out said you were highly interested in learning more about Twitter, I’m sharing some awesome Twitter tips today.

As usual, this week’s episode includes summaries of four blog posts with awesome suggestions and, of course, I have your tip of the week.

Let’s start with your weekly tip.

Today were going to talk about Twubs. That’s right, Twubs. It seems that all the Twitter apps have these cute names like Twuffer, Pluggio, and Twitterific.

Once you can get past the name, you’re going to like this application.

Twubs has been around for quite some time but now it has some cool features.

I first discovered this application when I joined a Twitter chat a couple of years ago. Twubs makes joining Twitter chats super easy because once you join, you don’t have to enter the hashtag a second time. It will automatically embed it for you as you join the conversation.

You can also use this application to register your very own hashtag. Once you register a hashtag, you can have your branded hashtag page. Then you can use this page as a landing page, to block spam, and to moderate a live twitter chat.

You can open an account with Twubs for free and still have custom layouts, photo walls, and more. Once you start using it, you will see how easy and fun it is to use.

Now, why would you want to join Twitter chats? To learn and share your expertise. You may also want to think about hosting one. Can you think of a better way for your readers to communicate with you in real time?

If you try out this app, he sure to let me know your experience is.

Now for the second segment of the show … Twitter Tips You’ll Love

SocialBro is an application that determines the best times of the day for you to send your tweets. And what’s great about this application is that it works seamlessly with Buffer, a scheduling application.

But enough about the applications; let’s get to the Twitter tips.

One of the recommendations they stress is to share your content more than once.

If you schedule a tweet about your new blog post just once, it’s doubtful that many of your followers will see it. You need to schedule your tweets at a recurring pace, ideally at different times of the day on different days. You can achieve this with at least two applications, SocialOomph, and SocialReport.

The folks at SocialBro noted this research from Wisemetrics in their post:

“On average, your second post of a piece of content will receive 86% as much engagement as the first time you Tweeted it.”

Another tip they suggest is to add your commentary to shared content. If you are reweeting someone else, you can flag an important point you liked in the post or briefly explain why you liked it.

They also suggest importing your email leads into your Twitter lists. I have to admit I didn’t know you could do this but by using email integration you can match email addresses from your lists to corresponding Twitter accounts.

Next is important news for everyone who uses Twitter. Lately, I’ve been noticing that my tweets are showing up in my Google Alert notices as well as an application I use to track mentions of my name across the web.

Now let’s talk about something fun!
